SIPI FALLS GUIDE
|
Tip
You will find it to get to the smaller waterfalls without the local guides but be careful not to choose a guide from the road side. Our advice is that you get a local guide through the lodge you are staying in. You will have to pay a guiding fee and part of this includes a contribution to local land owners for access to each of the falls. |
Sipi trading centre lies about 60 km from Mbale on the Kapchorwa-Suam road.
From Mbale follow the Kumi road out of town for 5 km then turn right on to the Moroto road.
The turning to Kapchorwa lies 33 km further on; the tarmac also turns right here, rather than heading to Moroto!
The water fall is clearly sign posted just after you pass through Sipi trading centre.
If you don’t have a private means of transport, the best ways to get to Sipi is with one of the mini buses or taxis that head to Kapchorwa from Mbale.
These vehicles at least leave the small Mbale Taxi Park every hour on the Kumi road about 300m past the clock tower.
At least Sipi area has accommodation for everyone according to your pocket.
So if you want to spoil yourself during this vacation you can go to the up market Sipi Falls Resort.
